IMPROVEMENT IN MEANS FOR ATTACHING URNS TO STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 215,112, dated May 6,1879; application filed January 17, 1879.

To all whom it may concern:

Be itknown that I, CORNELIUS FULLER, of Somerset, in the county ofBristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Means for Attaching Urns to Stoves, of which thefollowing is a specification.

The invention consists in hinging a horizontally-bent arm to one side ofa stovetop by a vertical pin that is held at the under side of a lug,and providing said arm with an eye, through which passes the stemportion of an urn, as hereinafter described.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section of astove-top with my improvement applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a plan viewwith the urn swung aside.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The invention is applicable to any form of stove, and is particularlyintended for parlorstoves of the self-feeding class, or those thatcontain ovens, access to which is had through the top.

The stove represented at A has a hinged cover at b, and a top opening,a, that is covered by urn (1 when the latter is in place. To one side ofthe stove-top, outside of cover I), is attached an arm, 0, by a verticalhinge-pin, which is held by a nut at the under side of a lug, g. Thisconstruction permits attachment and removal of the arm with facility.

The arm 6 is bent in a vertical plane, and is formed at its outer endwith an eye, through which passes the stem portion of the urn d, theparts being secured together in any desired manner, so that the urn willbe held upright in any position to which the arm may be swung.

The arm 0 is of such length that when turned over the stove-top, asshown in Fig. 1, the urn can rest in its place; and the hinge-joint ofthe arm should be slightly loose, to permit the base of the urn to sitdown upon its seat.

When it is desired to raise the cover b of the stove, the urn is to beraised slightly and the arm 6 swung back to the desired extent. Thiswill remove the urn out of the way into a position where it will notinterfere with the stove-cover, as seen in Fig. 2, and the necessity ofhandling the urn and carrying it in the hands, as is usual, is entirelyavoided.

I am aware that an urn has been suspended over the top of a stove by acrane hinged to a mirror-stand or attached by a pivot and socket to thetop plate; but

What I claim as new and of my invent-ion 1s- The bent arm 0, hinged atone side of a stovetop by a vertical pin held by a nut at the under sideof a lug, g, and provided with an eye, through which passes the stem ofthe urn, as shown and described.

CORNELIUS FULLER.
